Impressive...

Step 10
Objective What can I help with? Cooking?

Step 17
Objective (Ask for a dried persimmon Knowledge Item.)
Summary Suddenly coming to the kitchen
and asking for a dried persimmon Knowledge Item, does that make sense?
All the ingredients are for the royal table.
I'm sorry, but please don't come while I'm cooking.
Oh my-!! Who prepped these ingredients!
So busy! Busy-!!

Ah, what brings you here?
Step 19

*Sighs*... Please tell the gatekeeper
not to lose it again!

You must be having a hard time too, Your Excellency.
Step 20
Objective Monster?
Summary Yes, monsters!
It looked like a boulder and moved.
Embarrassingly, as soon as I saw them,
I had no choice but to run away...
Please make sure those monsters
never set foot in the kitchen again.
Step 21
If you're done prepping, take it over there!
Your Excellency. What brings you to the kitchen?
Step 22
Objective I've brought medicine from the Palace Apothecary.
Summary Medicinal tea prescribed for Her Majesty?

Let's see... The tea will be bitter,
so it should be served with some sweets.
Step 23
I will prepare the tea and snacks and serve them.
Don't worry! Leave it to me!
Step 24
I greet you, Your Excellency. What brings you here...?
If you're hungry, I will prepare a meal for you.
Step 25

Summary Ah, so you're doing a medical check-up!
For the kitchen to run this busily, I need to stay healthy!
Step 26
I am perfectly fine.
In fact, I'm too healthy, that's the problem.
Step 27
Objective (Asks if there are any pears.)
Summary We don't have any right now... but
is it because of Gang Sol NPC Knowledge?
Actually, when I checked the stock, there were some left,
so I was going to give the leftover pears to Sol,
but contrary to my expectations, there were none left,
and instead, we have apples.
Step 28
I also wanted to give Sol a pear,
but unfortunately, our kitchen couldn't help... I'm sorry.
Step 29
Greetings, Your Excellency.
What brings you to the kitchen?
Step 30
Objective We need to prepare for the banquet. (Hand over the banquet list.)
Summary Oh... Is that so?

This seems to be something Her Majesty prepared herself.
And it looks like the banquet is a royal command.
We'll try to prepare it as quickly as possible,
but we are missing some ingredients.
Step 31
We'll start with other dishes first,
but could Your Excellency perhaps help us gather the missing ingredients?
Step 32
Objective Of course. What do you need me to get?
Summary We need eggs to make the jeon.

Since it's a banquet, many people will attend,
so we'll need a generous amount.
Step 33
Take your time!
We can start with other preparations.
Step 34
Objective I've brought them.
Summary Thank you! It's admirable that you didn't mind the trouble.
I respect you even more.

we can focus more on the preparations.

Step 36

Your Excellency's arrival sooner...
Step 37
Objective Is something troubling you?
Summary Well... I was wondering if there was a special dish to present to His Majesty...
I noticed that the Yeonbaekdang has been stored for four years...
Step 38
But I was unsure
if I should open it...
Step 39
Objective I'll ask on your behalf.
Summary You would, Your Excellency...?

I hope I haven't troubled you...
I am deeply grateful...
Step 40

such a trivial request to Your Excellency...

I am deeply grateful, Your Excellency!
Step 42
Ah, Your Excellency. Welcome.
Are you here because you're hungry?
Step 43
Objective No, I was wondering if you could teach me how to cook?
Summary What? You want to cook yourself, Your Excellency?
I can teach you, but...
Why would you want to cook when I'm here?
Step 44
I'm curious about the reason.
Could you tell me?
Step 45
Objective I'm learning to cook for my adventures.
Summary Ah, I see. Since Your Excellency is an adventurer,
that makes sense.
Understood.
Then I'll teach you the simplest dish, soybean jjigae Knowledge Item.
Step 46
First, dissolve three spoonfuls of soybean paste in water,
then mince two cloves of garlic and add them in, letting it boil.
Step 47
Objective (Listen and takes notes.)
Summary Next, add a spoonful of soy sauce and some pork,
and let it boil until it steams. That's how you make soybean jjigae Knowledge Item.
Isn't it simple?
Step 48
Would you like to try making it yourself?
Step 49
Objective (Ask to taste the finished soybean jjigae Knowledge Item.)
Summary Hmm- For a first attempt, it's quite good.

Learning other dishes will be useful for your adventures.
Step 50
Ah, welcome, Your Excellency.
I apologize. I'm a bit overwhelmed right now...
Step 51
Objective What's the matter?
Summary We need to finish preparing the royal table soon,
but we've run out of firewood NPC Item for the stove.
Everyone is busy making their dishes, so no one can gather firewood.
What should we do...
Step 52
What should I do...?
Step 53
Objective I'm not busy at the moment, so I'll take it for you.
Summary You would, Your Excellency?
I am honored! Thank you!
Step 54
Well... If you could get me about ten logs to use as firewood,
I would really appreciate it.
Step 55
Objective (Hand over the firewood NPC Item.)
Summary Thank you so much, Your Excellency.
Thanks to you, we can prepare everything on time.
Step 56
Oh... But it seems we're out of pressed oil.
Could you please press this perilla into oil?
Step 57

Summary You can grind the perilla NPC Knowledge Item I gave you in a mortar to extract the oil.
You should have enough perilla!
※ You can process Perilla by through Grinding in the
Processing window () to get Perilla Oil Knowledge Item.
